The whiplash is absolutely insane. The one moment I'm thinking "Only 22... and thrown to the front lines for imperialism" and then I see the fucking black sun tattoo

Fuck yesssss thé best youtuber to ever do it, hands down

I think I might have figured it out:

1. Machinery decreases the SNLT required to produce commodity x
2. The value of commodity x therefore decreases to a minimum
3. Profit can only be increased by extending the working day and producing more of commodity x
4. The constant capital required to invest in machinery cannot be exploited to make profit, unlike the variable capital invested in labor and finally
5. efficient production machinery is only invested in once labor puts a cap on its own exploitation through organization

Technically this is an illegal strike Never cross a picket line! But TECHNICALLY workers have no rights Never cross a picket line You must never cross a picket line

"Anarcho-communist" Okay so she didn't read a single page of theory lol

Becoming a MTWist in real time as I watch this. I get it now.

That's okay

It's $100-120 iirc, but they last a long time. It's been so long since I got mine I even forgot how much it cost, but I bought it about 8 mos ago and still have a good amount left.

If I was still a socdem that hadn't read anything, this would be annoying to me. Now that I am halfway through just the first volume of Capital a post like this is so stupid I want to throw up. I can't even call it "wrong" or "right" it's like somebody is picking up a monkey wrench and being like "this is a funny-looking puppet" like this person just does not know what they are talking about.

aw i'm sorry i was just joking

I guess maybe if you're an anarchist you have to grapple with it

I don't know what he intended it to be, but it's not at all an argument against Marxism. Marxism isn't "hierarchies should literally never exist ever" it's "the bourgeoisie exploits the proletarians" You still have things like managers and foremen in socialist states (although they can be rotating positions, or responsibilities can be spread out and democratized). It's just like that book Anthem by Ayn Rand where people have weights on their ears to make them slower. It's a fundamental misunderstanding. Anyone who felt like they needed to seriously grapple with his weird idealism and calling themselves a Marxist should seriously re-examine how much they know about Marxism and consider

Also the acid house in that movie fucking rules

I wrote these notes up while watching it last night so it's a little messy, but yeah it's crazy to me how this movie is about a cop that very obviously commits murder — the tourists, Nielsen and Beth (four times!) And gets away with it and the only thing Americans remember it for 30 years later is the vagina scene.

13. "One of ours..."
